I do not think that extra RAM will have any
effect.
I also tried and gave up on a Radeon 7000 card
(with FC1). I then got a nVidia GeForce4 MX440 which works without problems. I
have helped somebody with a MythTV with a nVidia FX5200 which worked with the
same setup as the MX440. Just a matter of using the "nvidia" driver, setting a
number of Options which are described in nVidias documentation on the web,
loading some modules and turning off all kinds of screen savers.

card
Ok, thanks all!
So bottom line is, it's a great card
for mythtv use.
But, would I be better off getting an fx 5500? Is it
worth putting the extra money into a 256MB version rather than a 128MB? Would
an MSI card be a good choice?
How hard is it to get TV out
going? I've given up on my Radeon 7000 card, cannot make tv out work under
Mandrake 10.1 (I've tried all the drivers - radeon, ati.2, ...) its just
beyond me.
Thanks again, this list is great
help!
Cheers,
-Morten

Hi Garry,
What make is it? I've seen various cards on ebay, some of which
claim to be
doing mpeg2 decoding...(which I have come to relise isn't very
probable).
Chances are, it's not "MPEG2 Decoding", it's more "MPEG2 Hardware
Assistance" (In other words, XvMC)
Actually, I think some of the Nvidia cards actually do sport full MPEG
decoders... it's just that the full decoder isn't supported under
Linux.
